Fruits are the reason for Alph, Brittany and Charlie's visit to PNF-404 – by retrieving pieces of fruit scattered around the planet, and extracting the seeds, they are able to solve the hunger problem in their home planet, Koppai.
Similarly to ship parts and treasures in the previous two games, the collection of these items is necessary in order to complete the game, and they are normally found in specific locations, commonly accompanied by some sort of challenge which must be completed to access them. Some fruits are split into parts, where all parts must be recovered before the fruit is recognized. Collecting part of the fruit will still warrant an amount of juice, small as it may be. At the end of the day, any fruits retrieved will be analyzed, their seeds will be extracted, and the remainder will be converted into juice to serve as food supply for the crew, with one bottle of juice being consumed each day. The amount of juice the player has will hence determine the amount of days left they can explore. If a bottle is left half-full, new juice will be added into the same bottle, which will result in the colors of the two blending in. The oldest bottles are drank first.
In total, there are 66 fruits, belonging to 30 different types, with some of them having served as treasures in Pikmin 2, bearing the same name. There is a grand total of 98 days' worth of juice, including the three bottles the explorers bring as provisions. Day 99 can be played but the characters will have no juice at the end, and defeating the final boss is the only way to make progress on this day.
List
In addition, the following two special types of fruits can be found in Mission Mode and Bingo Battle:
| Icon | Name |
|---|---|
|
Golden Sunseed |
|
Golden Grenade |
Fruit File
- Main article: KopPad.
The Fruit File is one of the options available on the KopPad. It provides information on all collected pieces of fruit, and by tapping on a fruit, the player can read Brittany's Notes on it.
Treasures as fruits
In Pikmin 2, some treasures are actually fruits. They do not serve the same purpose as the collectibles in Pikmin 3, but are fruits nevertheless:
Cupid's Grenade: same as the Pikmin 3 fruit.
Sunseed Berry: same as the Pikmin 3 fruit.
Combustion Berry: a larger strawberry.
Seed of Greed: a chestnut; botanically a fruit.
Disguised Delicacy: same as the Pikmin 3 fruit.
Insect Condo: same as the Pikmin 3 fruit.
Citrus Lump: same as the Pikmin 3 fruit.
Love Nugget: a tomato; tomatoes are considered vegetables for culinary purposes, but are botanically fruits.
Infernal Vegetable: a bell pepper; likewise, bell peppers are botanically fruits.
Gallery
At the end of the day, Brittany recaps and juices the collected fruits, and analyzes new ones.

Some more fruit. In this image, all pieces of fruit are of undiscovered types.
Trivia
- According to Brittany's notes, Alph is allergic to both the Heroine's Tear and the Scaly Custard.
- Out of all fruit types, the following are also treasures in Pikmin 2: Citrus Lump, Cupid's Grenade, Disguised Delicacy, Insect Condo and Sunseed Berry.
- Including Mission Mode and Bingo Battle, the Cupid's Grenade is the most common normal fruit in Pikmin 3, appearing 20 times. The most common golden fruit is the Golden Grenade, appearing 23 times.
- All the fruits in Pikmin 3 appear to be fresh and undamaged, which is odd, considering some of them are buried, underwater, not growing on any plant (except a few), and even ingested by creatures.
